Yet again, AKICOLJ

The new house has a cloakroom next to the kitchen, which we would like to (get someone to) turn into a utility room. So, remove the basin, loo and radiator; install plumbing for washing machine, and shelves.

Any ideas on how much this might cost?

Well what about removing the coathooks for the cloaks too? Or do you reckon on retaining them to hang things over the machinery?

Will - who does all our plumbing - says that if you send him a photograph and details of what you want to do, he will send you instructions for doing it yourself, with pictures.

Well, I don't know how much, sorry.

But before you rip it all out may I take the liberty of pointing out that downstairs loos are very useful for when elderly relatives visit (but can't get up the stairs to go to the loo).

They are also quite handy when little people need to go in a rush, or someone's injured themselves even if not on a permanent basis. Having been unable to have certain visitors in the past due to the toileting issue, I would never rip out a downstairs loo (except to install another also downstairs).

(bek. adds that he has heard that downstairs toilets/cloakrooms add value to a house when resold too or rather that tearing it out might devalue it slightly).
